Oh poo poo no I didn't make it to bed until like 6am at least. But I asked them while we were there and they said four.

Did you just take the MRT home or what?

I didn't want to try and find it and then worry about transferring and then finding a bus.

Is the tax office open on the weekends? I would think so during May but you never know and their website is no help at all. I don't want to get up super-early before work if I don't have to.

Don't know, but you know you can use their e-filing system now if you want.

You still need the certification of having paid (a blue sheet) if you want to renew an ARC though.

I renewed my ARC just fine last year without a tax certificate after e-filing. They still give you a filing receipt. It's a normal piece of paper but it has a unique code or whatever, which functions the same as if you had filled out the big old form and gotten a receipt.

I'm in a similar boat, my least favourite class also dislike my lessons due to their other teacher at that school being Taiwanese and teaching her entire English class in Chinese.

That being said I usually find childish innuendo or making them formulate sentences that insult each other often go down a treat. If they can use frequency words as an excuse to say "Daniel always wears a bra to school" then they don't care if it's in English, they'll still want to say it. That being said the teenagers I teach are only 14 so if yours are old enough that it stops being funny I'd be at a loss.

My employer seems to take the tax out every month before my pay gets to me. I assume (and hope) that means I'm right to not be paying anything personally? Otherwise I'm in trouble.

You need to go to the tax office and file the paperwork.

The late fee in the country on back taxes is laughable. I've paid mine as late as October.

I've never had to pay at filing time. poo poo, I left the first time I filed for three years because no one told me about it and filing is entirely optional back home. Made for a hell of a rebate though.

My boss won't withhold taxes and reports everybody's salary to be a fraction of reality. Not sure what she gets out of that, but I just learned that it disqualifies me from ever getting an APRC because I'm under the minimum income. :v:

I'm in a similar situation with my APRC. Sucks; lived here 6 years and the year I qualify is the year I cut my hours down to go back to school. Whoops.

As mentioned, you still need to file. Of that's not enough motivation, in many situations you'll be expecting a nice refund.

Currently, things should be piss simple to file; just go to your local tax office with your ARC, passport, and bank account info(for direct deposit of your refund, or you can get a check mailed to you). They'll have a counter for foreigner filing and they pull up your info for you, which should pull up your income and tax info for you so you don't need to bring employer/bank provided tax forms. Even the giant purple form they have is more for error checking and understanding the calculations than actual filing now.

Tl;dr: just pop in your tax office with ARC, passport, and bank account info and then they will do the work for you and it's cool.

Not really, they just check your income from the previous year. So quit that shithole job and get a real one, because I don't make dick all and I still qualified for the loving thing. She must be reporting a wage so low the immigrations going to come after you for being homeless.

Nobody ever posts in this poo poo anymore, so figured I'd ask you Taipei goons if anyone is going to the Armin van Buuren show on Saturday. Would be cool to meet up with some of you motherfuckers. Met my first few goons in Hong Kong a few weeks ago and I've found that meeting goons in real life isn't as strange as I thought.
